We are Resurrectionists

He is beginning to doubt that God will ever raise him up again, but...

WE ARE RESURRECTIONISTS

Hosea 6:1-3

TORN to HEALED 
He has torn us to pieces
      The picture I kept getting in my mind to describe how I felt was that of a piece of paper ripped into  a million different pieces and scattered everywhere.  Not a coincidence.
But He will heal us
       He will gather all those pieces and put us back together like new.  He will heal parts we don't even know are broken.  We will see the rip lines and it will make us humble and approachable.  We will have been changed for the better.

INJURED to COMPLETE
He has injured us
       He has allowed pain on purpose.  We are not working at our full, best capacity.  We are limping 
       along.
But He will bind up our wounds
        He will set us right.  He will hold us together until we are healed.

DAMAGED to RESTORED
After 2 days He will revive us
On the 3rd He will restore us 
        We are resurrectionists.  He will breathe new life into us and there will be excitement again.  He can give back the years.  He can take this time that seems dead and redeem it for eternity.

That we may live in His presence
        This is a time of holiness  We want to be complete, perfect, lacking nothing, looking like Christ.
Let us acknowledge the Lord
        Choose to see.
Let us press on to acknowledge Him
        Phil 3: Forgetting what is behind.  It is a discipline.

FAR to NEAR
As surely as the sun rises He will appear
        He is here every day.
He will come to us like the winter rains, like spring rains that water the earth
        We live in Bruxelles and know the reality of rain.
